<p><strong>Description: </strong><meta charset="utf-8" />Family funds and foundations serve two purposes - to fulfill a philanthropic mission and to keep family members connected to each other and family legacy. Current trends in philanthropy and society will challenge both of those purposes. This webinar will look at some of those trends and how philanthropic families may need to adapt their strategies for governance, family engagement, and giving vehicles.​</p>
<p>The webinar will offer ideas for adapting governance, family engagement, and operational strategies to successfully navigate current trends and changes in philanthropy and society.</p>
